CINCINNATI, O., Dec. 298.—Robert Ma- ney, & magician, who registered at a leading hotel here under his stage name of J. R.

He married, two years ago, Miss Othello Harriman, whose father lives at Cush- ing OK. e After the shooting Maloney rushed from the room in his undergarments, id ran shrieking like a mad man down the street to the suspension bridge, where he was captured.

He said he was the son of “Willardaw. the Wizard,” who retired from the stage, and was living at San Antonio, Tex. Maloney had been out of work for some time, his last engagement being at Hancock, Md., a month ago. He ar- rived here a week ago with his wife and hild. They went to a boarding house and remained there until last night when the family went to the hotel. Only three policemen are on duty at one time in the wealthiest section of the city, it was made known Monday. They cover territory two miles long in one direction and one mile long in an- ther direction. Their combdined beats extend from Union boulevard on the east, to the city Hmits on the west, Del- mar boulevard on the north and Lin- dell boulevard on the south.

According to the journal, one of the beats traversed by a single patrolman extends from Union boulevard to De Baliviere avenue (four long blocks) and from Delmar to Lindell (almost a dozen blocks); another beat runs from De Baliviere to Rosedale (six blocks) and LANE URGES THAT {SKIPPER IS FINED: U.S. RETAIN'LAND | NEED NOT PAY BEARING RADIUM IF HEPUTS T0 SEA Secretary of Interior Asks Con-|Sea Captain Whose Ship Went gress’ Authority to Withdraw Down 20 Years Ago Berates It From Settlement.

Father Huelsman requested his parishioners to take turns watching the church to catch the thief. A little after noon Sunday, while Albert Ripper and Emil Pfiefer were watching the box from the choir loft, Bornharth entered the church, and with a knife and ham- mer opened the box. F Father Huelsman had placed six nick- els in the box, three of which were marked. Pfeifer and Ripper caught Bornharth, and turned him over to the police. The six nickels were found in his pocket. Bornhart is 23 years old. He gaid he was hungry, and robbed the box to get money to buy food. Father Huelsman told the police that he would apply for a Warrant against Bornharth, as the rob- bing. of church boxes had become so general throughout the city that it was necessary to take drastic steps to stop it. BISHOP DENNY TAKES MERCURY BY MISTAKE Recovering in Baltimore Hos- pital After Drinking Solution in Virginia Home. BALTIMORE, Dec. 2.—Bishop Collins Denny of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, was reported today to have entirely recovered from the effects of bichloride of mercury he swallowed by mistake last Tuesday at his home in Richmond, Va. Bishop Denny has been here with his wife and daughter since last Saturday, but it was declared by his brother, former Congressman James W. Denny, that the Bishop did not come to Baltimore for medical ‘treatment. Bishop Denny had been suffering from a minor ailment and took a liquid solu- tion of poison in mistake for his medi- cine. A physician was called, but be- fore he arrived an old stomach pump was found in the house and this was used with good effect. When the physi- cian arrived he also thoroughly cleaned jJ out the patient’s stomach. The Bishop was then brought to Johne Hopkins University Hospital as an addi- tional precaution. CASH REGISTER MAN DIES DAYTON, 0O., Dec. 2.—John Ritty, 6, who is credited with inventing the cash register, died at the home of his sister. Mrs. Thomas Cooper, here today. He got his idea of a cash register from watching the distance-recording device in the boiler room of an ocean liner. Although the cash register has made millions for those who developed the idea. Ritty died in only fair circun- atancea. Former Gov. Joseph W. Folk, Solici- tor for the Department of State a Washington, made the forecast-at the Planters Hotel Monday that Theodore Roosevelt would be nominated fo President by the Republicans in 1916. “As things are going now,” said So- licitor Folk, “it seems certain that President Wilson will be renominated. While he has said nothing to indicate hs attitude toward a secdénd nomina- tion, he is so remarkably popular throughout the country with all classes of people, that his renomination and re-election seem certain. Roosevelt will be nominated by the Republicans, but Wilson will defeat him. “The confidence of the people of the country is behind President Wilson to a greater extent than any other Pres- ident—even Washington, His record of less than a year in the presidency has stamped him as one of the most: re« markable men of his time.” Former Gov, Joseph W. Folk, Solici- tor of the Department of State, who was at the Planters Hotel Monday, surprised a number of his callers by the announcement that he had quit smoking. To show that this was not an antedated New Year’s resolution, ‘or an attempt to escape smoking Christ- mas gift cigars, he said he had formed his new resolve 10 days ago, and con- sidered it a test of will power. ’ Folk’s friends here have known him as an almost constant smoker. Early in his term as Governor, William Allen White, the Kansas writer, visited him at Jefferson City and wrote a magazine article in which he said that, In order to set a good example to young men, Folk had quit smoking. The Governor, on reading this, said White was mis- taken, and continued to burn up perfec. tos. In an interview, FATHER SCHMIDT MURDER CASE IS ~ GEN TORY Priest’s.

The President is devoting much more time than he had expected to corre- spondence. Dr. Cary Grayson, his to@ay said the President was slowly recovering in health, but needed more rest. Accordingly it was stated that hereafter Wilson will refrain from attempting to answer communications except those of unusual importance. of these there have been very ‘few. Letters Pour In on President. Many persons desirous of reaching the President through the mails have di- rected their letters here, knowing there is no large staff of secretaries here, such as is maintained at the White House. However, the process here is much the same as at Washington. Only letters of an urgent character have been referred to the President by those who are handling his mail. The bulk of the correspondence is not to be directed to the President’s attention until he _ re- turns to Wasliington. Then it will be systematically condensed for him in the way. Among the letters which have been pouring in at Pass Christian are many endorsing various bankers and others for membership in the new Federal Re- serve Board. None of these recom- mendations will be presented to the President until he returns to the White House. . Surprise Visit to Church.

The discontinuance of telegraph serv- ice will mean that the Western Union Telegraph Co. will have the number of its stations in Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma considerably diminished, as the Frisco station agents have been handling commercial business for the Western Union in towns on its line too small to support a separate commercial office. j : Twenty-four special trains, which went over the Frisco lines Sutrday un- Cer general orders from Receiver Nixon, carried men who converted 12,000 miles of telegraph wires into a telephone cir- cult, removing the keys, sounders and replacing them with telephone equip- ment. The Grievance Committee of the Or- der of Railway Telegraphers has leased the Central Hotel, near the Frisco depot in Springfield, as headquarters for its men in the event of a strike. B. D.

Members of the committee say their demands, heretofore presented to the receivers and refused, were as fllows: That exclusive station agents be put in the schedule the same as the agent who is required to handle telegrams or telephone messages. A consecutive eight-hour day for all except exclusive agents, and that telegraphers be not required to work i: more than one office in do- ing a day’s work.

That telegraphers be not required to scrub waiting rooms, offices or outbuildings; that. where they are not now required to handle mail be- tween the postoffice and the station, they be not required to do so in the future; that where they continue to handle the majl they be paid $15 extra a month.

Vice-President Newman of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, said to a Post-Dispatch reporter that the Frisco telegraphers were demanding relief from conditions which had been rem- edied by the managements of a num- ber of other roads. “The average pay of telegraphers on the Frisco is $67 a month,” he said. “The men cannot live for less than $65. An increase of 15 per cent in wages, to enable them to live and ‘to provide for their familieg in sickness or ather emer. gencies, is needed. “Telegraphers in many of the Frisco Stations are required to wash the windows and scrub the floors of sta- tions, to build fires and to do other work which should be attended to by’ janitors or porters. The operators are demanding that janitors or porters be engaged to do this work. “The O. R. T. includes not only te- legraphers, but station agents and tele- phone men, so that the calling of a strike would hamper the system gen- erally.”’ ARE YOU A PRODUCER OR RETAILER?

Keim, 4 years old, of #12 North Broadway, who collapsed and died Sunday afternoon at the funeral of his brother, George G. Keim, &, of 510 Talcott avenue will be buried Thursday at the side of his brother in Friedens’ Cemetery. Henry Keim, apparently in go001 health, had left his seat at his brother's bier when the Rev. Theodore Braun, pastor of St. James’ German Evangeil- cal Church, began preaching the funeral sermon at 2 p. m. He was sobbing when he started for the door, followed by his wife and son, Harry, 21 years old. At the head of a stairway leading to the rear porch, he staggered and was a38- sisted to a chair by his wife and son. The pastor halted his sermon and many of the 50 mourners started in search of a physician. Harry Keim ran to a drug store at Broadway and De Soto avenue, a block away, and told the owner, Dr. G. H. Charles Klie, that his father had been stricken with apo- plexy. The physician said he had no help in the store and could not go. Harry then started in search of two other physicians residing in the neigh- borhood, but the, were not at home. Dr. M. F. Harmany of 3441 North Nintn street Was reached, however, an@ ne ar- rived at 3:20 p. m., just as Henry Keim died. The Rev. Mr. Braun resumed his funeral sermon after the _ brother’s death, but made it brief and included a commendation of the brothers. George Keim then was buried and the families returned to prepare for a _ second funeral. Dr. Klie Monday told a reporter the same version of his refusal to leave his store as had been given to Harry Keim. He said he had treated some members of another part of the Keim family and had not been paid promptly. George Keim was a soap-maker and Henry a cooper. Henry’s daughter, Lilly, 19 years old, broke her’ arm Christmas eve when she fell on an icy pavement on her way home.

McKittrick, president of the Hargadine-MeKittrick Dry Goods Co., Monday, in answer to questions about. rumors in business circles that a reorganization of the company might be expected at the annual meeting of stockholders early in the new year, | sald to a Post-Dispatch reporter that “gome such action’ might be taken and that directors of the company 4&re considering the advisibility of reducing the capital stock from $6,800,000 to %,- 000, 000. McKittrick said the principal reason | for reducing the capital stock was that the Hargadine-McKittrick company had no further reason to carry the extra $2,- $00,000 of capital stoc. Which it issued when it bought the retail business of the William Barr Dry Goods Co. in 1911. Sold Retail Stere After Year. After operating the Barr store less than a year the Hargadine-McKittrick company, one of the best known whole- sale dry goods houses in St.Louis, sold the business to D. May & Co., own- res of the Famous store, one cendition of the sale being that the Hargadine- McKittrick company should erect a suit- able building to house the consolidated Famous-Barr store. McKittrick told the reporter that the HargadineMcKiftirick Dry Goods Co. owns all the stock in the realty com- pany which owns the 2i-story Rallway Exchange Building on tne block bound- ed by Olive and Locust streets and Sixth and Seventh streets. Six floors of this building are occupied by the Famous-Barr store. He said he be- Mteved the building in a comparatively short time would be on a paying basis. In order to take over the Barr busi- ness and enter the retail field, the Har- gadine-McKittrick company increased its capital stock nearly $3,000,000. Ralpn McKittrick, a vice-president of the com- pany, said that the Hargadine-McKit- trick company no longer needed its sur- plus capitalization, after retiring from the retail field, and for that reason con- templated reducing its cts * fF ee , _ ac igi?

Main 695 Central 5356 FRE THREATS DESTRUCTION Ot SPANISH CITY Blaze Starting in Tenement Dis- trict of San Sebastian Un- checked for Hours. By Associated Press SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain, Dec. 29.—A fire which threatened to destroy most of this city started at midnight in the tenement house district and still was raging unchecked at noon. | The flames were fanned by a high wind. An immense block of buildings, mostly tenement dwellings, was de- stroyed before daybreak. Thousands of the inhabitants of the surrounding dis- tricts spent the morning in the streets, guarding such of their household goods as they have been able to remove hastily. Shortly after daybreak the fire reached a big theater and a variety hall in the center of the city. Both buildings were destroyed. From this spot the flames advanced toward the military barracks, which Were vacated immediately by order of the commanding officer. Virtually all the available soldiers were assigned to duty as firemen, although their efforts had little apparent effect in checking the conflagration. San Sebastian has a population of 40,000, according to the census of 1900. It is considered one of the most beau- tiful watering places of Europe and is the summer residence of the royal family of ‘Spain. It is situated on the Bay of Biscay, 12 miles from the French frontier. The old town, lies in a cup-shaped depression in the moun- tains, fronting on the sea. The old town was destroyed by fire in 1813, but has been entirely rebuilt. The new town is built at the base of Mount Urgull, which is connected with the mainland by an isthmus, which has a splendid boulevard. The royal pal- ace Of Miramir is at San Sebastian. Oakes’ 24 Fi.

The Feds have an option on these grounds and hope to close at once so that preparations can be made to build stands, according The avquisition of a park site will be the second important step taken by the local invaders towards permanent es- | in St. Louis. The signing fingered flinger, Saturday, in Chicago was the first gun fired in a baseball ‘war which threatens to shake the very foundation of the organized fold. Brown is to manage the local team and will come here shortly after Jan. 1, when his contract as private tutor to the young son of Millionaire Harold McCormick expires in Chicago. Brown then will establish himself and begin the tedious task of building up a major League team for next season. It is expected that Outfielder Jones probably will be the only membcr of last year’s Feds who will return. The rest of the team will be of major League caliber. Brown Signs Four Players. According to President E. A. Stein- inger, who returned Sunday from the explosive meeting in Chicago, Brown airendy has four players signed for mext senson, and, as Steininger states, “when .their names are announced there will be another sensation.” Steininger refused to state who the players are. although ue admitted | that one comes from Chicago, another from New York and a third from Pittsburg. The fourth may hail from Cincinnati, where Brown played last season. The signing of four players is only a drop in the bucket, however, to what ‘will follow. Once Brown takes hold of the managerial reins developments will come thick and fast, the local promo- ters of the Federal League aver. It has been unofficially stated, how- ever, that St. Louis Federals will not raid the local teams. A member of the club had this to say Monday: ‘would prefer to see members md Browns line up | Merdecai Brown's coming means that @ack O’Connor has been gently, but . that he will not be identified with local team in @ managerial capac- ‘The present backers of the local ‘club gre: Otto F.

' . — “3 Brooklyn, Not Cincy, Is Stung by Jumping of Joe Tinker to the Federals CINOINNATI, Dec. 29.—The whole Tinker- Brown-Federals-Brooklyn-Herrmann mixup is & weird nebulous muddle today. Charles Weeghman, a rich restaurant man of Chi- cago, is the bug under the chip. He has for years tried to horn into the game and has repeatedly offered perfectly good money for a ball club, only to be turned down, and has at last decided to back the Feds just to get Into the sport as a magnate. Jefferson Iiivingston, ketchup maker, race- horse owner and millionaire sport, is tipped off as Weeghman’s partner.

It was Weeghman’s presence that landed Tinker and ‘Brown for the Feds. Herrmann is puzzled, but says all will be straightened out. One thing sure—the com- mission is about to fall on Davy Fults with heavy feet and ask him why members of his fraternity are jumping when !t was stated by David that they would sign with abeo- lutely nobody till after Jan. 7. Garry Herrmann says that Cincinnati is through worrying and that it is now up to Brooklyn; that he has the $15,000 and Brook- lyn must get Tinker or remain stung. t [ KIS |ST.LOUISU,DROPS | NEGOTIATIONS FOR GAME WITH C. B.C. Eligibility Conditions Reason Given by Billiken Heads. St. Louis University and Christian ‘Brothers’ College will not meet on the football field next Thanksgiving day. In a letter to the college authorities, the Billiken Athletic Board Saturday night stated that, in as much as C. B: C. was unable to adopt the eligibility rules suggested by St. Louis U., all furthér negotiations for the gridiron conflict would be dropped. The hitch came over C. B. C.’s refusal to bar freshmen in all its games next season, a condition that St. Louis U. imposed before booking the battle. «The game originally was proposed by outsiders who suggested that two char- itable institutions—Father Dunne’s Newsbovs’ Home and Father Dempsey’s Hotel—ie given 50 per cent of the gate receipts. St. Louis’ U, refused to nego- tiate with a committee of business men, but did take the matter under advise- ment when C. B. C. presented a formal request for a game. Eligibility Rules Involved. This challenge was accepted on the condition that C. B. C. abide by the Missouri Valley Conference rules throughout the season. C. B. C. then made a counter proposition, offcring to enforce the Missouri Valley rulos only in the game with St. Louis. The latter board, in its final meeting, de- cided that the game should not be scheduled under these conditions, and formally canceled negotiations. This was the last act of the St. Louis VU. Board, as four of its members re- tired after Saturday night’s meeting, and a new board was selected. The re- tiring members were: James Garneau, J. Mullanphy Cates and J. McMahon The new members are: Dr. H. W. Loeb, dean of the medical school; Dr. J. T. Harper, dean of the dental school, and Prof. F. L. English of the school of finance, and Prof. F. A. Thornton of the school of arts and sciences. The holdover members are Father Padberg, president, and George Bakewell, secre- tary. Oklahoma Game Booked. It was announced Monday that no action had been taken on the football schedule for next season other than to schedule @ game with Oklahoma U. in November. Oklahoma now is a member of the Missouri Valley con- ference and will play under the conference rules. Applications for the coaching job at the Billiken school were not considered, although the names of. several football mentors were nentioned, among them Drs. Brad Robi~- gon and Jack Schneider, former stars of the St. Louis U. eleven. Others seeking the po- sition are: Mike Belenti, who played with Carlisie and last season broke into baseball with the Browns; Exendine, another Carlisle man; Minor of Nebraska; Rockne, an all- American end from Notre Dame; and Barry, formerly of Wisconsin. The new board will be asked to select the coach for 1914. ——_—_o- —_- M’CARTHYS DEFEAT PLAX AND GAIN ON HYNES’ MEN By defeating the Ben Plax, ¢—2, Sunday, while the leading Hynes were getting a draw, i—i, with the Rudolphs, the McCarthys gained a lap in the pennant race of the Carthys now are only two points out of first “Shag’’ Horan starred for the McCarthys, scoring two goals.

Gate receipts for three games at Rob- ison Field, where professionals met the local outlaws, totaled a little more than $1200, while the expense of bringing 15 men here from Toronto aggregated a little in excess of $1100. This left a net profit of $100 or so, which, proportioned among the league players,. gave each enough to buy the ‘“‘makings’’ for a week, at least. Over at Athletic Park, the story was sad. With uncovered stands and in- clement weather, the attendance was small, the total paid admissions for the first two games being less than 75. The final game Sunday attracted a big crowd, however, and the gate receipts for three games ran upwards of $600, it was estimated. The expense of bringing a team of 18 men from Pater- son, N. J., was much greater than transportation outlay of carrying 16 men from Toronto, and conservative fig- ures indicate that the Athleti¢ books will show a deficit of approximately $600, with the players getting nil. -| League in Danger? These facts probably are responsible for the rumor current Monday that the Athletic Park League would disband. When this report was communicated to Billy Klosterman, manager of the St. Leos, he entered a stout denial. “We'll not quit this season and we'll be at the old stand again next year,’ emphatically declared Klosterman. ‘‘I don’t know who is responsible for such rumors, but I’m inclined to think they emanate from a source hostile to our league. However, they’re absolutely “Bull"’ Brannigan and “Punky” Mc- Cormack manufactured the goals which gave the Leos the proper credits over the Amer!i- can Cup contenders, although it was only through the desperate defensive work of Duke Sheahan, In the waning moments of the bat- tle, that victory was preserved.

HUERTA LIKELY TG. |F QUIT AS DICTATOR AND DIRECT ARMY Story That Enrique Gerostieta Will Succeed Him Is Be- lieved in Washington. CHANGE MUCH FAVORED Constitutionalists Would Not Be Consulted if United States Indorsed Plan. By gin ch ae 3 the Se etes Bu- uo e Post-Dispat WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—The report from Mexico City that Gen. Huerta, dictator of Mexico, would resign early in the coming year to become head of the army and that Enrique Gerostieta, Mexican Minister of Justice, would suc- ceed him as provisional President re- ceives credence in governmental circles here. Such @ prograsn would meet with ap- proval from the United States Govern- ment, according to the Post-Dispatch informant, who is a member of the administration, While the State Department has had no official advices stating that Huerta would take this step, John Lind, Presi- dent Wilson’s representative in Mex- ico, and Nelson O'Shaughnessy, Charge d’Affaires of the American embassy at the Mexican capital, have informed the department that they believe Huerta and his gdvisers were seriously consid- ering such a plan. U. 8S. Friendly to Gerostieta. The attitude of the Washington Gov- ernment toward Gerostieta is friendly. According to the Post-Dispatch’s in- formant, President Wilson would waive some of the points in dispute between the American Government and the de facto government of Mexico, if Huerta would yield his office to Gerostieta. Under such circumstances, the United States would yield regarding the mat- ter of the continuity of constitutional government. Instead of insisting that Pedro Lascurain, Minister for Foreign Affairs under Madero, be named as pro- visional President, in order that there be a continuity of constitutional gov- ernment, the United States would agree to the selection of Gerostieta, provid- ing that Huerta would completely elim- inate himself, Senor Moheno, Minister de Gubernation, and Gen. Blanquet, Minister of War. It can be stated on authority that if Huerta and his advisers submit a propo- sition to the American Government, President Wilson will accept it and ask a'l foreign governments to lend their moral support to the program. Such action would be taken by the American Government without consulting the rev- olutionists. While the revolutionists, as expressed by their representative here, are not fa- vorable to the naming of Gerostieta, it is believed they would accept him if the United States recognized him as Pro- visional President. By accepting Geros- tieta, Gen. Carranza would be able to enter the presidential elections as a candidate, and, if the majority of the people of the country favor him, as he says they do, his chances of being suc- cessful would be more than that of oth- er candidates. With the United States supporting the de facto government and with Huerta in the field as the head of the army, their chances of success by arms would be less than at the polls. Huerta an Able Soldier. Even the revolutionists recognize the ability of Huerta asa soldier. The rep- resentatives of the revolutionists here admit that Huerta perhaps is the best fitted man in Mexico to command an army. He has a successful military ca- reer behind him, and, with a well-fed, well-paid army, the revolutionists would be unable to stay his march northward, into the heart of the country now con- trolled by them, With the report came the information that Huerta is moved to consider this program because of the present fiscal situation in Mexico City. He is without funds and is unable to obtain any. The financial blockade which the American government, with the assistance of all the foreign powers established several weeks ago has told on Huerta. Everv effort he has made to obtain a loan, either direct or by a concession, has met with failure. The only reason his troops have not begun to desert in large num- bers is that the revolutionists can offer no bettter inducements, Money is just as scarce with the ach areca as with the federals. Nothing has come to the State De- partment regarding the alleged favor- itism shown to the rebels at Tampico by American Consul Miller. A _ dispatch from Mexico City stated that the Mex- ican government had forwarded to its Washington representative a protest against «uch action by Consul Miller. State Department officials do not rega:d seriously the report of it allegations. Reports that the Japanese are in- sisting on, decisive action by the United States in Mexico are denied. The Japanese ambassador called at th. State Department and asked Mr. Moore t» use his good offices with Gen. Villa t protect Japanese subjects and their property in Chihuahua State. Federals in Ofjinaga Fortress Await _ Attack. PRESIDIO, Tex., Dec. 2.—The Mex- ican Federals at Ojinaga, opposite here after being free of attack for three weeks, today made ready to fire on the first rebel that came within sight. With 4000 soldiers, commanded by nine ‘“‘Ger:- erals,"” supplied with stores of provi sions taken over from the American side, the Federals have made every provision to resist the 4200 rebels ad- vancing from Chihuahua under Gen. Ortego. The rebels, fatigued and short of ra- tions after their seven-day overland journey, of more than 150 miles, were resting at a ranch at the south end of a canyon, known as La Mula Pass.

FUTURIST CHORUS GIRLS “MAKING UP” FUTURIST MUSICAL ACT Milli TH AMA MMT —- —_— thing ever done in the interest of uni- versal peace. I think this exchange of telegrams should be repeated every Christmas or New Years. The New York World and the American Peace Com- mittee deserve the gratitude not only of the peopie of this country, but of the world at large for this splendid plan and ita successful realization. “IT have not yet received the cable gram from my Government announced in the message sent to the Post-Dis- patch and the New York World by th-: private secretary to the King of Sweden. When it does I shall be only too glad to enlarge upon the brief endorsement of the undertaking.”’ Willis Van de Vanter, associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States: “I do not as a rule allow myself to be interviewed upon any public ques- tion. In fact the justices of the Supreme Court have an agreement to decline interviews, for the reason that if we speak on one occasion we are asker tu speak every time a question arises. ‘However, I cannot refrain from ex- pressing my unbounded indorsement of this splendid step in the direction of realizing universal peace. “The World and Post-Dispatch and the American Peace Committee have rend- ered this coutry and the world at large an inestimable service by sending out these telegrams of good will. And the fect that the responses came back 5) promptly, together with the enthusias n expressed in the messages of various rulers, proves beyond the shadow of 4a doubt that ‘peace’ is the great cry of the nations of the world. “I am very proud that American news- rapers took this initiative and that !: was so splendidly supported by the American Peace Committee.”’ Shows Movement Is Growing. Ernest P. Bicknell, national director of the American Red Cross Society: “It is a big idea—a great big idea—which the Post-Dispatch and the World have carried out, and the responses which the telegram of the committee has brought forth is significant of the fact that the movement for world-wide peace is spreading rapidly. “While the Red Cross Society was born from the necessity of some agen- cy, which in time of war can assist in ameliorating the sufferings of the wounded, nevertheless it has in itself been a strong instrument for bringing about international peace. Consequently what the Post-Dispatch and World and the Peace Committee have done is as pleasing to our society as to any other organization of the couaztry. “Unquestionably, the last century has been a tremendous stride toward that ideal of perfect peace and understand- = in the family of nations and the idea of a peace telegram on Christmas eve was, indeed, opportune. The re- sponses which that telegram has brought forth are such as we should expect.” John Barrett, director of the Bureau of American Republics. “Speaking standpoint of one who has x Jy * > J, egies s peace melting pot’’ will make the out- going year one of the most important in modern world history, is the opinion of John D. Rockefeller. After yester- day’s service at the Euclid Avenue Bap- tist Church, Rockefeller, in an inter- view, expressed these New Year senti- ments: “TIT am thankful I am alive and healthy at 74 and to know a spirit has been awakened among men and nations t make the world grow better. “We should be happy to feel the church has kept singular pace with the world, industrially and socially, partic- ularly in our own country. It was in- tended as a guide for men and women. Worldly attractions have increased its burden of work, but they have not halt- ed its progress. We should all be thankful.’’ Rockefeller said the purses of civilized nations are generally opening in re- sponse to the needs of the poor. “This was another notable evidence,’ he de- clared, “in the outgoing year that ths spirit of good will is destined to be world-wide.”” He believed no nation was a noble one until it had helped to up- lift other nations. “A spirit of international amity has gained control of right thinking men,’’ he said. Stewart Gratified at For- eign Responses. NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—John A. Stew- art, chairman of the Executive Com- mittee to celebrate the 100th anniver- sary of peace among English-speaking reoples, said at Mount Vernon yester- day: “The answers to the peace message show a very sympathetic and sincere interest in the entirely frank efforts ef the American committee to bring about a celebration of a centenary of peace among all nations. “The cables expressing the sentiment of the committee, signed by Cardinal Gibbons, Judge Parker, Dr. Butler, Mr. Greer and Mr. Carnegie, are an earnest on our part of a motive consonant with Christianity and patriotism. ‘The courtesy of the World and the Post-Dispatch is one which is greatly appreciated, and the responses. pub- lished Sunday morning show conclusive- ly that there is a world-wide sympathy and an interest in the work which our committee and committees throughout the world are doing to the end that during 1915 there may be a greater and more widespread inter-association of in- dividuals of all nations than in the his- tory of the world in any international celebration.”’ Chairman *~ SUSPECT IN CLEVELAND MURDER HELD IN WEST CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 23.—Chief of Police Rowe received a telegram today from Police Chief White at San Fran- cisco which read: ‘“Am holding Johnny Dugan, ‘the kid.’ ’’ Dugan ie the man who fired the shot which killed Capt. Ralph E. Byrns in his home here Feb. 2, 1913, according to Frank Kinney. who died in the electric chair at the Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus two weeks ago for the murder. . Kinney and another, alleged to be Dagan, robbed the Byrns home and were surprised in their work. Byrns was shot and killed. Kinney was ar- rested in Chicago. Gov, Cox would have a- ‘reprieved Kinney had Dugan been found before the datejef the execution. GLIMPSE OF THE AUDIENCE \F FUTURIST VAUDEVILLE JOKES ARE AS HARD TO MAKE OUT AS FUTURIST PANTINGS TAXPAYERS, SLOW IN SETTLING, LOSE 920,000 DISCOUNT Full Amount Will Be Collected From Those Who Have Neg- lected to Pay Early. City Collector Koeln Monday was humming his own version of a popular song. As the chorus ran through his mind, it said: “Every little bit added to what you’ve got makes just a little bit LESS.” Koeln probably was the only creditor in town who was glad his debtors had been slow in paying. He figured that because of the taxpayers’ dreamy hesi- tation waltz movement in meeting their civic obligations the city had saved Taxpayers who pay their taxes on or before Sept. 1 are entitled to a 5 2-3 per cent discount. This year, Koeln says, the regular rate of call loans in the Sr. Louis money market in the early fall was 6% per cent. For that reason many taxpayers must have preferred to loan their money rather than pay their taxes with it. Consequently they forfeited their tax discounts and this money eventually will get into the city treas- ury. Up to noon the tax collections amounted to $600,000 less than had been paid up to the same Gate last year. Of the $16,000,000 total taxes to be paid, about $11,500,000 have been collected. As Wednesday is the last day for paying the year’s taxes, Koeln is preparing for arush. He expects to take in about $3,- 000,000 on that day. Two of the big ac- counts still unpaid are those of the United Railways Co., $448,000, and of the Laclede Gaslight Co., $238,000. All tax accounts not paid by Wednes- day night will have to pay 1 cent a month interest up to the time when they are paid. AMERICAN WOMAN IN LONDON FORFEITS BAIL Lawyer Says Mrs. Whitelaw Reid Offered to Aid Widow Accused of False Pretense. LONDON, Dee. 2.—The surety of 320 given by the -American Consul-General in London was forfeited today when Mrs. Sheridan Pitt Read, widow of a former American Consul at Tien Tsin, China, failed to appear at the police court to answer the charge of obtaining credit on false pretenses. The charge arose out of a bill for $0 presented by a London hotel. When first brought up, Dec. 22, Mrs. Read was remanded for a week and admitted to bail. J. Arthur Barratt, an American law- yer, told the Magistrate today that the money for bail bad been handed to the American Consui-General by a woman, some letters from whom had been found in Mrs. Read’s possession at the time of her arrest. The lawyer also mentioned that letters and cablegrams from Mrs. Whitelaw Reid and others offering to assist her had been received.

SISTER SEEKING ESTATE Baronness Presents Testament of 1889, Asks Removal of Seals From His Home. Special Cahle to the Posat-Dispatct and New York World. ROME. Dec. 29.—A probable legal fight over the estate of Cardinal Ram- polla is indicated by the latest develop- ments and reports in connection with the mystery of the Cardinal’s will. The retnoval of the seals from the res- idence of the Cardinal was requested by his sister, Baroness Carolina Rampolla- Pezzana, today. She is the mother of the notorious Prince Francesco Campo- bello, who figured in a society scandal two years ago, when Cardinal Rampol- 'la’s signature was found attached to bills amounting to $10,000 drawn in the Prince’s favor. The Cardinal repudiat- ed the signatures but honored the bills, hoping to avoid a public scandal. Bulk of Estate to Sister. The actual will, dated 1889, bequeaths the bulk of the late Cardinal's $200,000 estate to the Baroness. Her son, the Prince, is 36 years old. His, wife, Princess Altieri, obtained a judicial separation from him four years ago and lives with her two children in Turin. The Princess, it is reported, is bring- ing action against unknown persons ‘for sequestering a later will of Cardinal Rampolla revoking the will of 1889. Her mother-in-law, the Baroness, has presented to the court the late prelate’s testament dated 1889, according to which she is the only heir. The Baroness’ brothers have died since this will was made. If no opposition is raised by interested parties, the removal of the seals from the Cardinal's resjdence probably will take place tomorrow. A will of later date than 1889 has not been found. This later testament is said to beneiit the two sons of Princess Altieri, Vincen- zo and Larino, who, the late Cardine] promised her, should be provided for in his will. In this fact popular imagination finds ample reason to account for the disappearance of the later will. Missing Box Mystery. The story of the missing black box, said to have been found under the Car- dinal’s pillow and afterward stolen be- cause it was supposed to contain jewels, is now discredited, but the Sisters of Mercy who watched beside the corpse shortly after death continue to drop strange hints, yet seem fearful of dis- closing what happened during their vigil. U. S. TARIFF CONCESSION REFUSED BY GERMANY Intimates, However, She Will Grant Favored Treatment in Return for Equivalent. BERLIN, Dec. 29.—Germany today re- fused the request of the United States Government for the “most favored na- tion” treatment of American steels, rub- ber shoes, etc., but it is hinted she is willing to bargain for this concession if the United States will make an equiv- alent offer in return for it. The German reply to the United Stater application points out various features of the American tariff law—namely, the inspection of the books of the manufac- turers and the administrative regula- tions, which Germany would like to see changed. Commercial circles’ here express the opinion that the German-American tar- iff negotiations will be extremely diffi- cult without some such method of bar- gaining. . MRS. YOUNG’S RIVAL QUITS Schoop Resigns as Superinten- dent of Chicago Schools. CHICAGO, Dec. 29.—John D. Schoop, whose election as superintendent of Chicago public schools to succeed Mrs, Ella Flagg Young was canceled sevy- eral days ago by the Board of Educa- tion today formally resigned the posi- tion and resumed his old post as first assistant superintendent. This action removes, it is said, any legal objection to Mrs. Young’s re- election by the board. ACTRESS KILLED BY FALL Leaped or Slipped From Fifth Story Hotel Window.

The Grif- fin, an American schooner that sailed from Pascagoula last Tuesday, had rot been heard from today. The schooner George F. Scannell was en route to Modi this morning. Aboarl her was the crew of an unidentified ves- se! and some hepe was expressed that the men might be from the Chesil, which was bound for Cuba.

FORDYCE. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Friends of Col. 8. W. Fordyce of St. Louis feel that his relations to the affairs of the St. Louls, Brownsville & Mexico Railroad and the St. Louls & San Francisco Railroad, have not been so fully and exactly defined in current discussion of these properties as to do him entire justice. The facts, as his friends set them forth, in order, are: 1. Col. Fordyce organized the syndicate which and was one of five 2. The Brownsville road was not built to be sold to the Frisce road, but was an independent devel- 5 : opment. Negotiations for its sale to the Southern cific and Fansas City Southern Railroads were » fact cor.ducted by Col. Fordyce before the sale the Prisco was considered. 5. Col. Fordyce, when the Brownsville road wa‘ = sold to the Frisco, had no interest in the Frisco, either as’ stockholder or officer. He did not, therefore, in that deal, “sit on both sides of the table,” as did some of the men who were at the same time members of the syndicate and officers of the Frisco road. 4. Col. Fordyce became an owner of stock in the POST-DISPATCH| o-_ tte om es —s eS ee ae er ne me eee RAILROAD LOGIC. The supplemental questions submitted by the Interstate Commerce Commission to railroad managers, seeking an advance in rates, go to the core of the issue of gevernmental regulation of railroad finances. The questions, covering broadly all reasons for the decrease in revenues as compared with the increase in operating expenses, relate specifical- ly to extravagances in railroad expenditures, al- lowances, rebates and special privileges, and to financial relations and dealings between allied corporations and of railroad directors in cor- porations selling to the railroads. It is mot likely that the commission will get free confessions of illegal rebates and allow- ances. If it has knowledge of such transactions it should supply the Department of Justice with the facts. The questions touching the possibility of re- ducing extravagant outlays and operating ex- penses relate to the present petition for an in- crease of rates. Those touching financial rela- tions and dealings with allied corporations and railroad directors relate to the petition for rate increases, if they are to be continued. It is conceivable that the railroads may con- fess to improper and costly dealings through in- terlocking directorates and official syndicates in the past and justly plead need for better rates now, largely on account of such looting. But the condition of the grant of increased rates should be the cessation of all improper practices by which raflroad treasuries are depleted for the enrichment of favored persons inside or out of their directorates. The inquiry leads directly te the necessity of a guarantee of the economical and efficient ex- penditure of railroad revenues and railroad loans for needed railroad purposes, and no other. By inference this is the commission’s condition of a grant of rate increases. The condition can be met only in one way— by rigid governmental regulation of railroad finances—the supervision of the issues of rail- road securities, of the purposes for which they are issued and of the actual expenditure of the money. The logical conclusion of the whole matter is found in the commission’s own recommendation for the regulation of railroad finances in its an- nual report, which has been brought to an acute issue by the Post-Dispatch’s demand for prompt action in the light of the reveiations of plunder- ing practices in the New Haven and ‘Frisco systems. Nor need the Interstate Commerce Commission wait for further information to give weight and point to its recommendation. The history of American railroads supplies a library of infor- mation which is capped by the recent scandalous facts brought out in the Frisco and New Haven investigations. purpose of developing and utilising these Te sources for the general welfare, is untyersslly 8@ cepted.” The finest schools in Switzeriand are the prt mary schools.

A NEW ERA OF PROSPERITY. Big events, with big consequences, have come to pass with startling rapidity in this country dur- ing the nine months last past. | Chief among the events alluded to were the downward revision of the tariffs and the enact- ment of a new banking and currency law. Chief among the consequences of these events, in immediate general interest, is the new era of prosperity, which is not to come but is already be- ginning, as numerous outcroppings in the business world prove beyond question. Cash and credit withheld from use during past months of uncer tainty begin to flow back into the channels of commerce and industry. The new tariffs are found not to hurt but to help. The youth, courage, ambition and constructive energy of the country, held momentarily in check by doubt concerning the forward road, is released for action. The lit- tle spell of dull times is passing and a few months more will see business swinging forward in full cry. The Democratic party has proven its ability to legislate constructively, a merit long claimed as the exclusive possession of the Republican party. Under President Wilson’s leadership it has won the confidence of conservatively progressive men of all stations in both the other parties, without losing the confidence of its own rank and file. | Few if any periods of like brevity in American history reveal legislative accomplishments com- parable to those of the Democratic party as led by Wilson between March 4 and Dec. 23, 1913. = = — Mi si 2 A YOUNG MAN’S BIG JOB. John Purroy Mitchell, 34 years old, becomes Mayor of New York on New Year’s day. His term of office is four years. He will be the chief executive of a city corporation with a yearly budget one-fourth as large as the nation’s, with a net bonded debt of nearly a billion dollars, and with 5,000,000 citizen stockholders. A city which is the nation’s chief financial and industrial center, its chief gateway of foreign trade and travel and its chief seat of entertainment. Mr. Mitchel, assuming this the heaviest task, probably, borne by any man of his age in Amer- ica, is apparently well equipped for it. He has “an old head on young shoulders”—the full vigor of disciplined youth with the discretion of middie age. He has gained, in the city’s service hither- to, intimate knowledge of its ways and means, its needs, its duties. He knows the best usages of the best managed city governments elsewhere in the world. In common with most intelligent men of his generation he looks with favor on municipal ownership of public utilities and the collection for public benefit of a share of the un- earned increment in city land values. He is cred- ited with being a man of rigid honesty. Not least important, he knows well the people of the city whose affairs he is called to direct. This young man’s big job divides inta two parts—administrative and constructive.

The second part of his job, the constructive part, is to get home rule and a short ballot char- ter for New York. I€ he succeeds in this part of his job, he will make it easier for New York's independent voters to keep the efty government out of the hands of Tammany Hall permanently. If he fails in this part, it is quite likely the great city, at the end of his term, will ewing back, as it has done heretofore, to Tammany’s contrel. = = — a a A SEXTETTE ON MEAT PRICES. A board of six to make a new and scientific study of high meat prices has been tamed by Sec- retary Houston. No Florodora sextette could vie in popularity with these aix, if they get results in their work. The violation of the economic law that when the price of a commodity goes up, the production of the commodity tends to increase must, of course, be due-to the introduction of ar- tificial factors. With the price of meat promising attractive re- wards for the production of livestock, census fig- ures have shown that the number of livestock in the country has steadily declined while the con- suming population has increased. The Meat Trust, in forcing high prices from the consumer, has seen to it that no such proportion of the profits goes to the farmer and ranch man as would stimulate livestock growing. It is right now in affirming that the scarcity of livestock explains the constant upward tendency of meat prices, but to its unfair apportionment of the profits in the past the scarcity is largely due. Prices have gone higher since the meat mag- nates escaped conviction on & criminal charge. The public has some justification for the belief that the range of prices at both the production and the consuming end of the market would have been different had the outcome of the trial been Gen. Villa may not be able to read or write, but he must have heard about Kiobin Hood. He is taking property away from the rich and giving it to the poor, and hia popularity is said to be growing in psbout the proportion of poor people to rich people. He saw the opera, anyway.

An* who do I bump into the first t’ing but Izzy Katz! “Happy New Year, Shrimp!?’’ he says, an’ I’m jes’ gointer open me trap an’ wish him \the same, when I remember. “Out o’ me way, youse!’’ I says. “I gotter swear offen speakin’ to youse fer a year!’’ *“‘Who told youse so?” he says. “Me boss,’’ I gays. “Me boss told me th’ samme about youse,"’ he says, “an’ [ wason’ gointer notice youse after this. But youse kin wisht me a ‘Happy New Year’ can’tcher?” “‘Aw, take it!’ I says. So we shook fins an’ I goes upstairs. In a couple of minutes in comes Ethel, lookin’ as faded as a Sattidy night bead o’ lettuce. “Happy New Year, old scout!” I says, en’ she gives it back. Then the frst t‘ing she does is sashy over where. her lookin’ glass useter was. ‘April Fool!’ I says. “Remember yer swore off’ an’ the agreement is the first wan o’ the bunch that breaks the new law is th’ office liar fer th’ whole year,” I says. “Th’ bot’ 0’ youse make me tired,” she says. “But I kin stand it. it ain’t,”” she says, “like as if I was wearin’ a bunch o’ false hair Nike mos’ wimmen,” she says. An jes’ then the boss came in. Hones’, I never seen but one party lookin’ rockier, an’ he'd been hit pe an automobile comin’ past an’ goin’ back. But he was game, an’ after hed’d said “Happy New. Year” as chipper as he ‘could, he slips me a whole handful o’ segars an’ tells me fer to give ’em to the starter, him havin’ forgot. So we started the year. Well, it was funny. I ain’t sayin’ I hated lazy Katz, but up to now I could of got along all right widout kissin’ him good night or anyt'’ng, but un the level, I begun to. get as lonely fer that tadpole! An’ as fer Ethel, ‘twas a scream. The boss would holler fer her, an’ that poor dame’d hop up an’ dive fer the place where that glass'd oughter be, poundin’ her ostermoor to shape it up! Then when I give her the laff, she’d gv clean off her tracks an’ bat into the boss’ cave lookin’ fer trouble. An’ I guess she got it! Youse’d hear 'em goin’ it in there, an’ then she'd come out lookin’ like a cart load o’ lemons, an’ the boss'd call me in. “Hey!” he says, one time. “What's the matter wid youse? Why doncher hop when I call!

Ethel’s bangin’ away at her ma- chine like she hated it, an’ I says, when I gets out there, “Well, fer heaven's sake,” I says. “I guess we better be sendin’ in a hurry call fer the silly cart fer th’ boss.” “Don't talk to me,” she sayg “or I'll. stab youse wid th’ earaser!” An’ that makes me go up in’ air! “I hope yer choke, th’ two o’ ener I says.

FRIVOLOUSLY youthful effect A is obtained in this little dance frock of dove blue satin gener- ously frilled with fine cream lace. And it is in accordance with fashion’s sincerest decree this season, for hardly a gown is seen that does not bear at least a fragment of net or tulle, and frills of these materials have assumed unusual proportions and con- sequent importance. This fashion, too, is most flattering to the majority of women, being particularly feminine and, in effect, youthfully inclined. Very adaptable for furbishing up a 14st season’s frock is this design, for as will be seen by the pattern the waist is a plain kimono, and the skirt a plain one-piece model such as prevailed last year; but the several dainty ruffles ap- plied around the hip line give the fash- ionable flare. Also the manner of ap- plying the ruffle on the waist which gives the effect of a shoulder cape, is the latest ‘‘cry,’’ while the ones finish- ing the puff sleeves and the one over- hanging the belt conform delightfully with the general round ways trimming effect of the gown. Though the use of lace as the ruffles is probably the simplest in following out aie there, sittin’ in me seat, but Izzy Katz. “Happy New Year, Shrimp!’’ he says. “"*S that so?’’ I says. “If the boss ketches youse in here it'll be ‘Rest in Peace!’ G’wan out wid youse!’’ I says, grabbiu’ him up. “An’ doly smoke!” I says, gittin’ a sniff. ‘‘Some guy’s been in here wid a seegar! If th’ boss smells that,’’ I says, ‘‘they’ll haveter be callin’ th’ reserves. Where's that grouch of an Ethel?’’ I says, peekin’ in her room. An’ believe me I near fainted, when these she is, wid her lookin’ glass back on the wall, makin’ her hair over. “Happy New Year, Bill!" she says, turnin’ ‘round wid a smile. An’ before I kin get me breat’, outer his room comes th’ boss himself, wid a seegar in his mout’ that woulden’ go under Brooklyn Bridge. “Happy New Year, Bill!’’ he says. “As youse see, tis all over!’ he says. “I've returned to th’ sunshine o’ th’ office th’ glass in which fer to see her own fair smiles, an’,”’ he says, blowin’ the room full o’ smoke, “l've fixed things so’s I kin talk to meself widout iInsuut- in’ meself, an’ th’ world rolls right oncet more.” “Fine, boss,” I says. “Here's that chewin’ gum youse told me to be buyin’ youse,” an’ I unloads th’ whole bunch ~five dollars’ wort’—on the desk. “Keep it,” he says. “Save it for th’ penal fool party,” he says, “that makes CASTORIA The Kind You Have Always Bought } with turquois blue No, 2 090000000000090009000000000000900000000000000000000 this design, either chiffon or Brussels net may be used with a slightly differ- ent effect. For instance, on a lemon yellow dress of crepe de chine or chif- fon cloth, ruffles of white Brussels net edged with a white velvet binding, and a girdle of black velset to complete the whole, would indeed be charming. A dull French blue velvet, or rich olive green for a girdle could also be used. On a gown of dull blue satin, trimmed with cream lace, which was first men- tioned, any variety of girdles may be worn, such as a rich rose color, a darker dull blue, a tango red or black. For the young girl there could be no daintier toilette than this design de- veloped in white chiffon cloth, china sil.. or crepe de chine, and trimmed with white net ruffles, which could be edged velvet ribbon, while a softly draped girdle of blue and pink Dresden ribbon tied with chic ends in front would complete it. To edge the ruffles, tiny rosebud trimming could be used, but as this would be quite ex- pensive on so many ruffles, somewhat the same effect could be obtained by the use of Dresden flowered silk cut on the bias as bindings. Then a girdle of plain blue, pink or green satin should be used. New Year’s res'lutions an’ sticks to ‘em,”’ he says. “He has my sympat’y!” TO BE CONTINUED, Do you want to learn the Dahomey Dip?

There were heroes in those days,” said Ned Lawton. “There are just @€8 many heroes now,” said his mother, With a smile, “only they are not recognized as such by the majority of people.” “Oh, of course, I know that Admiral Dewey was a hero, and every- body does, but I mean that there are not so Many as in the days when there were SO maly wars and [Indians tv fight.” “Yes there are,”’ his mother persisted, “and you can be one if you wish.’ Ned looked at his mother with surprise. ‘How can I be a hero, mother?” he asked. “By doing right when you are tempted to do wrong. The man or wom- an who Overcomes a real temptation does a heroic thing and wins as great a battle as the man who goes to wa‘ with a regiment.” Ned sat quietly think. ing for a few minutes, and then he asked: “If I had not gone swimming the other day when the boys teased me tv go, would that have been a victory?”. ‘*Yes,’’ replied his mother, “‘that would have been a victory over temptation and wrongdoing, for I had told you nut to go swimming without asking me” “But you do not get a title or medal for things like that,” said Ned, stiil not quite sure he understood. “You get the title of being an upright man an‘ the peace of your own conscience,” re- plied his mother. “You have got w fight out the little things that go to make up the big things in life first. then the rest will follow as a matter >» course.” Ned thought over what his mother had said, but it soon went out of his mind as he heard the whistle of one of his playmates outside. Not loug after this talk Ned was playing ball on a vacant lot with some of his friends. The lot was on a corner and the wind was blowing so hard that everyone who came that way had a hard time getting past. An old woman, with a basket filled with vegetables and other things from the market, had her bonnet blown off her head, and when she sat her basket upon the ground to get her hat, the basket tipped over, and out rollei the contents in all directions. The pooi old woman could not run, and away blew. the bonnet out of her reach, her hair flying over her head and into her eyes. “Oh, iook at old granny,” called out one of the boys. “‘Why don’t you run and catch it,’’ called another as the bon- net again escaped the old woman's grasp. ‘Oh, look at the basket; it is blowing away, too!’’ called another, and then a shout of glee went up as the old woman’s shawl blew over her head. Ned had been’a silent spectator, and his im- pulse was to help the old woman, but he feared the jeers of his playmates and stood still. Suddenly his mother’s words came to him, “Dare to do right.”’ Ned “MAGAZINE the old woman and straightened her shawl; then he ran after the bonnet, that had blown against a post. The boys did not say anything at first, but pwhen Ned put the bonnet orf the old woman's head and tied the strings, they shouted, “Oh, look at granny’'s little girl! Where are your curls, Neddie?” Ned’s face flushed and his eyes flashed, but he went bravely on helping the old woman. “You wait here,”’ he told her, leading her to a sheltered doorway of ja nearby house. Then he picked up her basket and gathered the scattered. gro- ceries and put them in the basket “Going home with Grandma?’ called ene of the boys. “Yes, Neddie, be a good little boy,’ said another, “and carry the basket.”’ “You shut up,” called Ned, ‘or I'll punch yeu.” “Oh! little girls don't fight,”’ called out Fred Smith; ‘“‘you'll have to stay in and sew, if you are naughty,” This last was too much for Ned. He put the basket on the ground and ran into the lot, but the boys ran, too. “You wait till I catch you, Fred Smith,’’ he called. “I'll show you whether I am a gir! or not.” Ned picked up the basket and went where the old woman was waiting. “I will carry it home for you,” he said. When Ned returned he looked for the boys, but they were not in sight. That afternoon he saw Fred Smith standing in front of a store, and he lost no time in confronting him. “You called me a girl for helping that old woman,” said Ned, ‘and I am going to fight you. Now get ready.”” Fred started to run, but some of the other boys seeing him at that moment, called out, ‘“‘Coward!"’ and he had to face the angry Ned. “What is the matter with your face?” asked Ned’s mother at the supper table that night. ‘‘Fred Smith scratched me,” re- plied Ned, hanging his head. ‘“‘Scratched you!"’ repeated his mother. “How in the world did that happen?’’ And so the story came out. “I couldn’t let him call me a girl,’’ explained Ned when his mother came to his room that night and sat on his bed talking over what had happened. ‘‘But you were a hero,” re- plied his mother. “What did the words of those boys matter?” “But, mother, they did not think I was then; they do do now, though. They know I am not afraid of Fred Smith. I felt all right here,’ said Ned, putting his hand over his heart, “when I was helping the old woman, but not here,”’ and he touchéd his head, “until I punched Fred Smith, and now I feel fine all over.”’ His mother kissed him goodnight and said: ‘““You are my little hero for daring to do right and helping the old woman, but I think the fighting was uncalled pfor.”’ “‘Mother never was a -boy or she would understand,’’ thought Ned. “I just had to punch Fred Smith, all.’ .

But pro- priety, rather than morality, is to be considered in any discussion of this subject. There is nothing absolutely wrong in a game of “Postoffice” between young persons of opposite sexes. Only nice people don’t indulge in such pastimes (using ‘‘nice’’ to imply conversance with social usage as well as morality). A girl with truly refined instincts shrinks from making a game of the bestowal of her caresses, which she prefers to save for the man who will most appreciate them —the man whom she loves and who loves her, There are many enjoyable games and pleasures for social gatherings of young men and women -without resorting to familiarities which do not belong to such casual occasions. “M. G.” writes: “I have been paying attention to a girl for six months and yesterday was my birthday. She gave me a nice gold fob. What shall I give her for Christmas besides candy and flowers?” Why not give her a camera? Don't choose jewelry; she really should not have given you a watch fob. : ay — gaged to one man other.

They are actually — from $25 to $40 and every penny of it. This sale of Dresses will even surpass our previous gown sales—wonderful as they have been. We have just received 200 Fresh, New Evening Gowns, which will outclass by far anything we have ever offered for such little prices. Think of getting new chiffon taffeta frocks, which Fashion says will , & one of the leading silks for spring, at 16.05. You’d never dream of obtaining such handsome creations for so little money. It is futile to attempt to do these Dresses justice by either written descrip- tion or sketches. Such a wonderful galaxy of colorings never before shown in Dresses at even twice or thrice the prices ‘we are asking for these. The styles are all new, of duchesse satin, chiffon, charmeuse, meteor, pompadour and Dolly Varden silks, brocaded charmeuse, crepe de chine and chiffon taffeta. Some are beaded, others are fur trimmed and with gold and black lace mina- rets; bodices of shadow lace, and gold and silver laces with the smartest new skirt etfects. Just 200 of these dresses—fresh and rew, every one of them—for even- ing and party wear, and for tangos. There are black, whites and all evening shades— sizes for women 34 to 44, for misses, 14 to 18.

FOUR _GIRLS RUN AWAY FROM METHODIST HOME They Throw Clothes From Win. dow When Matron Is at Front Door. Miss Rae Lawton, matron of the Methodist Episcopal Home for Girls, 43iJ Morgan street, has asked the police to look for four girls who ran away from the home Sunday afternoon. While Miss Lawton was letting vie- itors out at the front door, the girie threw their clothing from a second-story window and left the building by way of a rear door. They are Ruby Sommers, 17 years old: Nora Bishop, 14; Archie Crowley, 14, and Almira Willis, 15. Ruby Sommers came here from a country town. The homes of the other girls are in St. Louis, but investigation since their disappearance shows that they did not go home, the police say. Since they were permitted to visit their homes at Christmas, Miss Lawton says, the four girls have been dissatisfied. Saturday afternoon Miss Lawton saw several young men near the home, ap. parently flirting with girl inmates. She ordered them away. -—- ec YOUR EYES TIRED?

Coleman, a well-to-do farmer. _ At first, the population was calm and the authorities seemed satisfied that tnere would be no repetition of the scenes of last Saturday night, when a} mob unsuccessfully stormed the jail ‘with the avowed intention of lynching : ‘the throngs in the streets were a dozen members of the Baitimore police force, who were sent here yesterday by Gov. Goldsborough’s order, to assist thé local authorities in upholding the law. All night the Balti- ‘more nien guarded the jail and patrolled the. stréets. 4 : + 2 | Confessions Put tw Writing. In jail today the confessions of James ‘Parraway and Norman Mabel were re- _ peated and redtced to writing for pres- - €@ntation to the grand jury.

' Three other negroes also are held in jail in connection with the crime. ‘The crowds around the courthouse and jail increased rapidly during the morn- od te » -~ the streets around the county bullding “were full of people. _ Chief Judge Constable of the County Cireult Court charged the jury to take - ‘eareful, but quick.action and not allow ‘themselves to be: swayed by the demon- ‘stration-made against the prisoners in _ “I want you to treat this like an or- ‘dinary case,” he said, “but at the same _ time I urge that you, because of the ' ecndition of affairs and the feeling tac} __ shown, act quickly.” OD Trial to Be Held at Night. - « 80 critical are conditions regarded and __- 0 apparent is the temper of the throng - _ thiat the court announced that the fin:t- Ing of indictments against the negroes ‘this afternoon would be followed by a ‘ceges.

Wells, manager, and Andrew Nicks, bartender, restraining them from Selling liquor ut Campbell's Forest Home, from leasing or subletting the property for that pur. pose and from permitting it to be used for that purpose. The injunction was epplied for Oc* 24 by Prosecuting Attorney Lashly and testimony was heard and the application was taken under advisement. Lashly's charges were sweeping. Judge McE}- hinney, in a written Opinion, says that charges of gambling, immorality and disorderly conduct were not proven, but that illegal sale of liquor was proven. The Forest Park Turnverein Ass0- Ciatoin now has possession of the place. Judge McBihinney says there is nothing definitely before him touching the rights of this organization. Prosecuting At- torney Lashly says an investigation has been made and the charter rights of the organization will be tested. The case as to Frank Kelly, named as one of the defendants, is dimissed, Judge McElhinney finding no evidence to show he had any connection with the place. WOMEN MUST PAY INCOME TAX, OR SUFFER Punishment to Follow if They Refuse,'as Dr. Anna’ Shaw Threatens. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—Women who follow the advice of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president of the National Wom- an’'s Suffrage Association, to offer “pas- sive resistance” to the income tax law, lay themselves open to serious trouble with the Government, in the opinion of officials of the Treaéury Department. In an open letter addressed to ‘‘un- franchised. women’ of America,’”’ Dr. Shaw further advocated that “they de- cline to ajd the Government in levying taxes upon them by refusing to render an account of their property.” Treasury officials point out that it is just a8 much a violation of the law to refuse to make returns to the collector as to refuse to pay the tax after the assessment has been made. A fine of from $3 to $1000 is the renalty provided, and treasury officials declare they propose to enforce the law. They made it clear today that every- body subject to the income tax, whether man or woman, Would have to obey the law réquiring returns on the amount of annual ‘income and that the Government would take the proper steps to enforce the law where an attempt was made to evade it.

With January settlements approach- ing and an accumulation of reserves, the St. Louis banks and trust companies are probably stronger in relation to cash resources than they have been at any time in the past six months. Asa mat- ter of fact the passage of the new cur- rency law had aided very materially in bringing about a feeling of confi- dence that there will be a more equal financial statis after the turn of the year. While commercial paper has not been very active during the past few weeks, the prospects are that there will be a substantial volume of business handled before the end of the coming week. Rates are 56% to 6% per cent with the average set at 6 per cent, although some paper has been taken at frac- tionally under the latter quotation in a number of instances.

PITTSBURG, Pa., Dec. 2.—Dodging from tree to tree, and firing as he ran, Henry Rokowski, who last night shot and killed Constable Martin Windt and probably fatally wounded two other persons at West Homestead, a suburb, held @ posse of 200 deputy sheriffs and citizens at bay on the hills above Mo- nongahela Valley today. Rokowski es- caped through the woods to a desert- ec cabin, whose doors he barricaded and taking position at a window, fired at all who came into view. Mrs, Estella Yekbik, who was shot twice when she refused to admit Ro- kowski to her house after he had killed the constable, is near death with a bul- let wound close to her heart, and an- other in her head, while the doctors ex- pect the death of Ignatz Raukoski, who had gone to her assistance. The aged father of Rokowski was beaten by the son yesterday and Constable Windt tried to arrest him. EX-JUDGE REFRAINED FROM SHOOTING SLAYER Dierker, in Ante-Mortem State- ment, Said He Could Have Fired , Revolver. A-warrant charging murder will be issued against “A. Samson,” self-con- fessed slayer of Henry C. Dierker, for- mer County Judge of St. Charles County, who died Sunday at his home, near Elm Point, Mo., of a wound inflicted the dav before with his own shotgun in the hands of Samson. When physicians told. Dierker he was gving to die, he made an ante-mortem statement, in which he said he easily could have shot his assailant after be- ing wounded, but he put a revolver back into his pocket, instead of firing it. Dierker had ordered “Samson,"’ a tramp, out of the Elm Point School, where the latter was warming himself. The tramp took Dierker’s shotgun from him and a few minutes later shot the former Judge. Dierker after falling to tho ground, pulled a revolver from his pock. et and then put it back. The slayer asserts Samson is not hie right name. He says he is a taxpayer at Glenn’s Ferry, Idaho, and that he paid taxes in several other states. He :s well dressed and apparently educated.

W. Sleater of 3425 Vista avenue, a train auditor of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad, ended his life Stinday morning by asphyxiation in: his bed- room. He left a note to his wife, snay- ing that he had been suffering from stomach trouble. A son, William, 20 years old, who ar- rived from Chicago Monday, said his father had been somewhat worried by the necessity of meeting a note due the first of the year, but that otherwise he knew of no financial trouble. William is a law student, and a younger son, Louis, is in school, In his farewell note Sleater asked his wife to have the boys finish their education. After Mrs. Sleater, on returning from church, found her husband’s body, a pulmotor, borrowed from the United Railways sheds, was used in an attempt at resuscitation lasting more than an hour.
